Clay & Ash
Clay & Ash
Words & Music by Matthew Lake
For you my love I sing
For you I would burn.. everything
Burn it down leave ashes on the ground
For you to write your story in
Me I’ll take everything you have
Swallow it whole, lay on the grass
With my belly full in the sun
My belly full in the sun
For you I’d catch all the rain
Weather the storm, ride the waves
Just to keep your skies a blue
Just to keep your skies a blue
Me, I shall believe
For once in something, greater than me
Me I shall believe
For you my love I sing
For us I would build back..everything
Rise it up from the clay & ash
Rise it up from the clay & ash

Violets Are More Than Blue Words & Music by MJ Lake Roses aren't always red & violets are more than blue The wildflower's color…always shines through.

Things Taken

Things Taken Words & Music By MJ Lake We met a long time ago, found true love. We knew there would be some downs. Never expected the lows. Didn't go exactly as planned, or how we hoped. Got mostly what we wanted. Got mostly what we need. But the few things taken...hurt the most. Bitter-sweet birthday’s roll around. Where does the time go? My father told me it never slows down. Lost dreams haunt...

Strange Bird
มุมมอง 52ปีที่แล้ว
Strange Bird Words & Music by MJ Lake She introduced herself to me at the corner bar. Baby, I’m Angel from Montgomery. I’ve been lonely for too long, honey buy me a drink? She spun tales of Tulsa from years ago. How she fled Vegas, ran down to Mexico. Baptized herself in the Great Salt Lake, worried it was too little too late. She was a strange bird with a heart of gold. Once a young girl with ...

Sometimes Words & Music by MJ Lake Woke up with the sunrise Let my bare feet hit the floor I felt the cold, cold baby Left over from the night before At first I thought you were kidding Then that feeling faded pretty fast I knew I would be sleeping alone And I wondered would you be coming back Sometimes I get to drinking Say things I shouldn’t have Sometimes I get to thinking I don’t deserve yo...

New Tune Tuesday! Let's have a freak of a week!! Take My Hand Words & Music By MJ Lake She said I side step perfection to dance with the gods I judge accurately The joyousness of love Here’s a potion for you to drink Turn you blind so you can see Take my hand…I won’t let you fall Take my hand..I’ll show you it all When day broke I felt the cold on my eyes Her touch burned my skin, blisters did ...

The N.Y. Sunday Borough Blues Words & Music by MJ Lake It’s a quiet afternoon in NYC Sidewalks covered in snow Virginia sits smoking on her stoop Keeping dry & watching it all Yaya’s cooking in the ground floor kitchen Singing a foreign song Daydreaming of the old world Hoping to make it back before times gone Fat Jack’s working the corner bodega He rarely ever goes home He’ll sell you whatever...

Have You Ever Music & Lyrics by MJ Lake Have you ever looked out your window on a winter's night Snow falling from the sky..diamonds in the moonlight Have you ever touched your toes to the dew in the morning grass Watched the clouds roll past.. flat on your back Isn't it beautiful isn't grand Isn’t it beautiful..don't l...

Simply great!
Thank you!! You are to kind sir!!
Outstanding!
Thank you Patrick! Happy New year!
Great rendition! Are you playing in open tuning?
Glad you like it! Yes I am playing in open G tuning.
Thanks for the reply Matt! I’m trying to learn this song and it hasn’t been easy! It’s a departure from how I usually play. Your playing is inspiring.
Great song writing as usual. Did you get a new National Guitar?
Yeah a bit ago..Let's get together & play sometime soon!!
TY ANGEL YOUR AWESOME LOVE YA MAN!!! 😍🌈😎
I love this version !!!
Thank you!!
Very good.
Very, very nice. Great job Matt!
Thanks!!!!
Wow, that’s awesome 🤩
Thank you!!!
Really well done fella people judge these kinds of performances so unfairly against an album version with god knows how many overlaid guitar parts plus drums bass keyboards this is very proficient
Thank you for the kind words, glad you enjoyed it!!
Love it Matthew. You are a great songwriter
You are to kind! Thank you so very much!
Matt, I love this original song. The lyrics are very touching. Cheers, Jan.
Love it.
Learn the E augmented chord for the intro.
Wow Matthew I love it .
Another great song!!! Keep em comming
excellent.
Thanks, I've been without power since Thursday. Today first day I've been back on internet. It's nice to hear 13 days. It's been a sad time, Jerry Jeff Walker, Billy Joe Shaver, and now the 007 Bond man, all gone. It hurts to get old and see all your friends start passing on. I could just stay sad, or find me some new younger friends. Billy Joe wrote a line, "you're as young as the women you feel". I'm going out and find me some younger women to love on. Anyway, thanks for the kind words. Billy Joe use to say, God loves you and so does Billy Joe Shaver. In my case, so does Johnny Rocco.
JJ Cale was master of the grove. Thanks for posting, Maybe do a cover of 13 days?
Johnny Rocco Thank you!! I’ll get 13 days coming...such a great tune!!!!!
@@MJLake1.0 The first time I heard JJ Cale do, bring it on back. I knew he was a very special person. Who writes, "I think I'm getting something gold, bringing it on back from Mexico". Only people who knew about running dope would understand the meaning to that song. Then I read that the first time he heard Clapton doing after midnight on the radio, he went out and bought him a new Chevy, I mean, how fucking cool is that!!!!!!! They don't make them like that now. He was a one of a kind, for sure. RIP JJ Cale.
@@johnnyrocco Hi Johnny! Just posted my cover of thirteen days. Hope you like it! Stay healthy & I couldn’t agree with you more about JJ...a true legend!!!
Great job ! Just picked up a 660 in amber glow myself. Love it.
It's a really great guitar!! Enjoy it can do so much more than the rick jangle.
Great tone 👍
👍 keep it up good work
Thank you!!!!
Matt, I'm genuinely honored by your efforts to create and perform this piece. It's been incredibly humbling to see the responses people have had to my demonstration. I can only hope to be worthy of such high praise. Thank you for this wonderful tribute.
Thank You!!! You have inspired many...can't thank you enough for your service & continued patriotism.
great stuff for Marine Todd ALSO SUPPORT RYLEY WRIGGLESWORTH
Beautiful song, thanks for making it!
Thank you!
I searched TH-cam for videos on Todd Winn. Sadly, I found none. Although I’d seen friends on FB from across the country share the story of what he did. I was born and raised in Utah and seeing the bow and arrow man on the news broke my heart. However, Mr. Winn made me proud to be from Utah! What he did is courageous to me. He didn’t join in a public protest. He, himself, as a white man, did this. By himself. It’s inspiring! As a mother of a biracial child and as a woman who was blessed to be raised by parents who raised my brother and I to treat everyone the same, and as a human, he gave me hope. Hope that maybe one day I won’t have to worry about my daughter being treated unfairly based off of her skin color. Thanks to Mr. Winn for caring enough! And also, thank you sir for writing such an amazing tribute to him! He deserves to be recognized! ❤️❤️❤️
God bless you and your daughter, let's all work to make the world a better place for her.
Matt Lake yes sir! Thank you so much! ❤️❤️❤️
When A Us Marine Gets It? A Change Is A Coming! It Breaks My Heart That Proud Men Like Todd, Has To Take Orders From A Draft Dodger. Love The Song, Real Soulful.
Thank you..and let's all hope change is really coming this time!!
Excellent tune!!!
Thanks Colby!
